Default hmmmm...how much?
do you think new rims (15x8 and 15x5 weld draglites) with a 275 drag radial, and some 4:10 gears would make me drop a half second?

What gears are in it now? 4.10s are pretty low if its a street car.

they might, it just depends on how much better traction you get with the DR's and how bad it was with the other tires and gears you had.

4.10's arent too steep for a D&D 5 speed. yea you prolly lose about a half sec depending how well you hook to make those 4.10s really count. but anything is possible.
